Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Three Ye Family Young Master
Li Xinshu slept comfortably.
To be honest, he has not been sleeping well during his time in Fucheng because Fucheng is not very safe.
Compared with Mianzhu, Fucheng is not only low, but the city is too narrow. Although Li Xin has many people, it is not easy to defend Fucheng, but Mianzhu is very different.
Mianzhu can be said to be the first acropolis of Jincheng. After getting Mianzhu and Li Xin's soldiers with nearly 40,000 people, even if Li Shen went crazy and put his family in Mianzhu, Li Xin could still support him for a long time.
At least it can support Ye Ming rushes over.
In other words, Li Changan has completely gained a foothold in the southwest, and no one can easily touch him.
From today on, he is a nail stuck in the southwest. He doesn’t want to move, and no one can pull him away!
After the Marquis of Jing'an got up, he looked at the sky and found that it was already afternoon.
He stretched and found a piece of clothing on his body.
The place he lives now is in the yamen in Mianzhu. Zhao Jia and others are working in the front yard. Li Xin washed his face and rushed to the front yard. He found Zhao You'an who was writing a letter at his desk.
"Is Ye Mao back?"
"not yet."
Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said, "The news from the previous news was sent back. Cheng Ping personally brought three thousand people to turn back and cut off the rear. Everyone has the will to die. If you want to deal with them, it will take time no matter who it is."
"It's probably time to wait until it's dark before the young master can come back."
Li Xin nodded and said, "The order in Mianzhu City needs to be maintained. From now on, Brother You'an, you will temporarily serve as the magistrate of Mianzhu County. Brother You'an cares about all things in the city."
Speaking of this, after Jing'an Hou paused, he continued, "There is, the three unspoken merchants who reselled grain in Fucheng, I have brought them to Mianzhu. Each of these three guys has a lot of food in their hands. Brother You'an can meet them when he has time and "borrow" some food from them in my name."
Jincheng is also a big city, and Jianmen Pass has not yet been broken. Although the situation in the southwest has been solved by Li Xin, it will take quite a while to completely solve it.
According to Li Xin's estimate, it will take at least the second half of Taikang's second year to solve the problem.
Therefore, the food problem during this period is something that Li Xin needs to worry about. Although there is also some food in Mianzhu City, this kind of hard currency is better after all.
Zhao Jia was silent for a while and looked at Li Xin carefully.
"Mr. Marquis, do we still pay the food you borrowed?"
"What's the matter..."
Li Xin gave him a blank look and said naturally: "Of course there is no need to pay it back."
"Remember the number, and throw it to the Ministry of Revenue after returning to the capital, and ask the Ministry of Revenue to repay it. Is this marquis who is like a person who is lying to pay it back?"
Zhao Jia sighed helplessly, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I understand."
Li Xin carried his hands on his back, suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I forgot to say the most important thing."
When he heard Li Xin say the most important thing, Zhao Jia's expression became solemn. He stood up and looked at Li Xin.
"What's the matter?"
"You'an, Brother You'an, don't forget to ask someone to repair the city gate that was blown up by the sky thunder, otherwise the Pingnan Army would come in from there to attack us, and we would be a little unbearable."
Zhao Jia was speechless.
He was silent for a long time before finally saying quietly: "Marty, after entering the city, my subordinates asked someone to repair the city gate..."
Marquis Li nodded with satisfaction.
"I am worthy of being Brother You'an, remember to practice more solidly."
After saying this, Marquis Li turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Jia coughed and said, "Mr. Marquis, you have shirked everything about Mianzhu on your subordinates. What are you going to do yourself?"
Since entering Sichuan, Li Xin has basically been making plans. At this moment, Zhao Jia took it for granted that Li Xin had to hand over these chores to him, and he must have something big to do. He spoke to ask if he had any help.
Mr. Li didn't even look back, and replied lazily.
"I am tired, so I need to take a good rest for a few days."
When Zhao Youan heard this, he didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and took a few deep breaths.
He is now beginning to wonder if he has chosen the wrong person...
…………
After it got dark, the young master who left the city to chase the enemy finally rushed back from outside the city.
He was covered in blood.
But it was not unharmed. The tall young master still had a small crossbow arrow on his shoulder and didn't have time to pull it out.
But it is obvious that he did not suffer any fatal injuries, not even any injuries.
After the young master returned to Mianzhu, he did not go back to rest as soon as possible. Instead, he came to Li Xin's residence. After being informed by Yulin Guard, he wanted to see Li Xin.
It's already a little late now.
However, Li Xin, wearing a cotton jacket, still yawned to see him.
After seeing Li Xin, Ye Mao stood up, lowered his head and fisted: "Uncle Master."
Li Xin smiled and asked, "What is the result of the battle?"
"The Pingnan Army returned to the army of 3,000 people, and all of them were annihilated by our army. Because the others had no horses, they were unable to catch up. It took a lot of time to clean the battlefield, so they came back late."
Li Xin nodded and asked, "Where is Cheng Ping?"
Li Xin already knew about Cheng Ping's personal breakup.
Ye Mao let out a breath.
"Dead."
"I've been nailed to death by myself."
Li Xin said with a blank expression: "Have you brought his body back?"
In this era, it is still relatively bloody. The most important thing to get a certificate of military merit is to use human heads. A person of a level like Cheng Ping is a great contribution to bringing back. Not to mention being a marquis and generals, at least there is no problem in having a wife and a son.
Ye Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I buried him."
"He didn't have to die, but he came back and died..."
Li Xin interrupted Ye Mao and asked calmly: "So do you think he is a hero?"
Ye Mao didn't say anything.
Li Xin continued: "He made Mianzhu like this, and he couldn't survive even if he returned to Jincheng. Compared to death on the battlefield, he was more heroic. At least Li Shen had no excuse to attack his family."
"The reason is this principle."
Ye Mao looked up and looked at Li Xin.
"But when you die, not many people dare to die."
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right."
Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an glanced at the wound on Ye Mao's shoulder and asked, "If you don't deal with the injury, why are you here to do? Please give me some credit?"
Ye Mao shook his head slowly.
"I can't figure out one thing. I heard from my grandfather that the uncle is a smart person who can be ranked among the top five in the Great Jin court today, so I want to ask the uncle."
"You ask."
Li Xin sat down and poured Ye Mao a cup of tea.
"But I don't necessarily understand."
The young master still had a strong smell of blood on his body. He took a few deep breaths and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to know if you should do anything on the battlefield!"
Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao lightly.
"Master Ye should have taught you this."
Of course Ye Sheng taught this, and Old Man Ye said that as long as he could win, he would be right to eat shit.
The young master lowered his head and said, "My grandfather taught me, but when Cheng Ping died in front of me today, I still felt a little uncomfortable."
Li Xin stood up and glanced at the young master who was a few years older than him.
He wanted to say something, but eventually shook his head.
"Forget it, you'll just be whatever you think."
